to have the benefit of their experi

"The first time that I ever saw a
motor vehicle fitted with a coal gas
container was at the beginning of last
September, on the London and East
bourn road. The distance between
London and that favorite seaside re
sort Is sixty-four miles. The road Is
picturesque and in summer and early
autumn It is crowded with private
cars. But this was not a private car,"
says Chas. O. Harper in an interesting
article appearing in the February issue
of MoToIt. "It was, in fact, a char-a-banc,
public Bervlce vehicle. I believe
there are four of these, running two
service each way weekly. At that time
no one thought much about coal gas
as a necessary substitute, because
(although so short a while ago)
It was not then foreseen that gasoline
would be entirely prohibited for pri
vate cars or so-called pleasure ser
vices. Already, however, gasoline had
become frightfully expensive: four
shillings (one dollar) a gallon, and
motorists sighed when they thought of
the dayswhen it had been one shilling
and sixpence (thirty-six cents), or a
shade cheaper. If, therefore, the cost
of motor spirit weighed so heavily upon
private users, what must be the burden
of those who run heavy lorries
(trucks), trade vans, omnibuses and
chars-a-bancs! The owners, therefore,
of those heavy vehicles, consuming so
very much more gasoline to the mile,
were the first to take up the question
of coal gas. They had not that ne
cessity of studying appearances which
seems so insistent to the private
owner, and they had, per contra, the
very vital need of practicing economy.
So those who were using motors for
trade purposes made no difficulties
whatever about turning over to coal
gas and having huge gas bags fitted."

After Porto Rican Labor
Royal D. Mead, of the Hawaiian
Planters' Labor Bureau-, is now in Por
to Rico, with a view of securing sever
al thousand laborers for the Hawaiian
sugar planters. Whether the mission
will be successful, is not yet known.
Mr. Mead went to Washington and had
a conference with officials there over
the labor situation in Hawaii, especial
ly with reference to conditions brought
about by the drafting for war of so
many who have been employed on the
I plantations, and the necessity for re
placing thetn with other laborers in or
der that the sugar output, now so nec
essary to the world, should not be ma
terially decreased.
Mr. Mead is loking over the field in
Porto Rico, but nothing is known as
to the result.

Artistic Magazine
The Paradise of the Pacific, publish
ed In Honolulu, has been a very prom
inent factor in the upbuilding of Ha
waii. Illustrations, if of the right sort,
always appeal to those of artistic tern
perament, and the illustrations in the
Paradise of the Pacific are the acme of
excellence. The three-tone color
work now being done by that magazine
is not excelled in the larger offices of
the mainland. The Mardh number
contains an attractive article descrip
tive of the beauties of the Waimea
canyon, one of the beauty spots in the
Wonderland of Kauai.

The Maui Agricultural Company is
planning to manufacture a "substitute
for gasoline from alcohol. The alco
hoi is distilled from waste molasses
after which it is put through a patent
process which perhaps adds to its
explosiveness. The Maui Times states
that the new product can be supplied
at a lower price than gasoline.

MICHELIN TIRE HINTS.
Nation wide prohibition within
ninety days seems to be practically
assured, as a result of the trend of
matters at Washington.
On the Proper Care and Treatment
of Rlmt.
J. P. Clapper of Kauai Garage Co,
a strong supporter of Mlchelln Tires
says that: Rust is an enemy of rub
ber. It will pay the motorist to in
spect occasionally the condition of the
rims on the wheels of his car, espect
ally if the outer surfaces of the cas
ings near the beads look rusty. This
discoloration is rust caused by rusted
rims. This rust if not arrested will
gradually eat through the rubber, at
tacking the canvas of the tire. In tlm
the edges of the rusted rims will be
come more and more uneven, tearing
and eventually destroying the beads
Furthermore rust works between th
beads and the rims leaving space for
water which also damages the rubber.
To remove rust from a rim, the tire
should be taken off and the rusty
parts rubbed clean with coarse emery
paper. Then smooth the surface with
finer emery paper and re-japan the
rim, applying one coat to the outside
and two to the inside, making sure
first that the surface is smooth and
free from rust. Roughness may be
quickly detected by running the hand
along the edge of the rim. When the
edge of the rim is too uneven for the
use of emery paper, first use a tile
after which emery paper may be used
for finishing.

Mr. J. I. Silva,
'Kleele, '
Kauai.
Dear Mr. Silva,
This is to certify that after using the Murtny's
Roach Doom for pianos, organs, etc., I find it to be
the best preparation I have ever used. It is not neces
sary, I find, for the roach to cat it in order to exter
minate it. If it is used as per directions it is certainly
a wonder.
Yours truly,
Jack 15kk;sthom.

doughnuts, etc.. merely by straining out the food
particles after each trving.
